Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.

Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

Well, my ZvZ is as good as my ZvT and I am confident in those. But ZvP I need more practice maybe, worst win ratio is against Protoss.

Why is your ZvP bad? Many Zergs have changed a lot of their style vs Protoss, using roach/infestor/baneling for instance.

I can't find my own style vs Protoss yet. Ling/bling+infestor or muta+ling or hydra+roach or ling/bling/roach, there are many many styles. I use all of them in practice but I can't find the right one for me yet.

Why are those bad?

They're not bad, they are all very good. I can't quite adopt the right one for me yet.

Many foreigners have been talking about the 8 roach+zergling build, what do you think of that?

I use that build too, its very good vs 3 gate expansion, if the Protoss is bad at forcefield you can finish the game immediately.

Do you think that Protoss has to change styles soon? To combat 8 roach+zergling.

I think just be ing good at control can defend that well enough.

Before, many people complain that Zerg has a hard time scouting against Protoss before lair, what do you think now?

I feel the same, it is a lot of deduction/inference/guessing. Counting sentries is one of the keys, you can also look at gas with a scouting drone of an overlord sometimes.

Some Protosses have now been doing DT sentry expand, do you like this build?

No, its not good. Its very very easy to beat.

Because you can easily count the sentries?

Yes, its easy to figure out what is happening. I can make many many drones and go lair, and Protoss can't do anything. Mutalisk, hydra, roaches all win from there.

So you have seen this build a lot?

Yes, after the GSL final many Protosses used it in ladder.

(No translator needed, btw. He's so awesome)

Dhalphirdon't you open that trapdooryou're a fool if you dareRegistered Userregular

I've started hiding some of my sentries when I 3gate expand for that very reason. Try to maintain Xel'naga watchtower control with a zealot, and keep 3-4 of my sentries in my main, above my ramp, after I expand. A zealot is quite resilient to being killed, on some maps (Typhon) you can put him in a position where he can kill 4 zerglings without dying, and as long as you can see any potential serious attack coming, you have time to move your sentries down the ramp.

Fucking Terrans. We Zergs work so hard at holding of all sorts of all-ins and they just herp a derp, ctrl-click their scvs and marines and win everything forever. Oh, and if we kill it all without taking losses, we're still behind because they have lolmules. And don't get me started on fucking PROTOSS. a-move rofl, am i rite? make 1 zealot and it kills infinity zerglings and 1 sentry can make infinity forcefields. oh and then they make 1 colossus and just a-move it to your base and win. fucking ezmode gaytoss.

----

Fuck you, Zerg. You have your gay banelings that we have to spam click like a maniac with our marines to get away from them. Oh but then when we spread to minimise their damage, your fucking speedlings run in and surround them better, so they fucking die either way! And as soon as the marines are 1 pixel too far away from the tanks, your 400 mutalisks swoop in and kill all of them instantly, then every scv on the map spontaneously explodes. And fucking Protoss, stalkers are so fucking OP, need to make marauders against them but then marauders neverk ill anything else, DTs tear eveything fucking apart, have to go crazy with stutter micro to even keep the marauders alive against zealots. God help us if you have sentries, we can't even move. Oh and we can't make medivacs to heal, because we need vikings to kill your fucking colossus!

----

Goddamn, Zerg and Terran are so fucking ezmode. Oh, an early pressure by the Protoss? ill just make some bunkers and then lol with 4 marines inside it holding off 30 million gateway units while repairing. Haha, look at your zealots try to get through the scvs to the bunker. Oh and I'll do it with the planetary too. Fuck you Terran, we Protoss have to micro every battle so much with forcefields, all you do is 1-T-A and roflvomit all over our forces. Banshees? Goddamn, someone looked at the DT, thought, "ok, yeah, its pretty good, but lets give Terran something better. Lets make it fly, and be ranged!" AND then lets give the only mobile detection to a tech path that can't effectively deal with air! And fucking Zerg and their roaches and their drones. Leave a Zerg alone for 5 seconds and he has infinity drones and then can just push your face in with infinity roaches because roaches never die, do a billion damage and just burrow under your forcefields.

I've had some success with long term muta baneling zergling. You need to make sure you have Broods before your opponent maxes but if you have good muta control, Infestors really aren't enough. Banelings shred Hydras (especially since you can snipe their seers) and you can usually win a base trade/deter your opponent from killing you until you have blords and force spire tech.

It's probably not an optimal way to play, but having a really fast army and forcing your opponent to play blind is a fun experience

I got an achievement the other day for neuraling Dhal's HTs and Storming a stack of my own drones by accident. HT are hard

I feel like there is a timing where if someone pushes out with a strong enough roach force, maybe timing it with +1 that it would just hurt, too much. Unless I had a billion spines.

I've done the mutas vs infestors thing before, i tend to just send 3 in to snipe one infestor, then manually move another 3 from another angle and so on.

Seems efficient enough since it takes 4 fungals to kill mutas. I mean of course people drop the ITs. But still, they hate doing it.
